Where would I buy almond meal? I have never heard of it.

Suzanne J

Note from Kaylin: Almond meal is generally available in most grocery stores- ask your
grocer where to look. You can also make your own by placing slivered almonds in a coffee
bean grinder. Coffee bean grinders are excellent for making meal from nuts because they
are made for handling the oils in coffee beans- and nuts also contain natural oils. Store
any un-used meal/flour made from nuts in your freezer to prevent the oils from turning
rancid. Enjoy!

I haven't actually tried this recipe, because I just got it! It makes sense in how it works. It
comes from the Wilton site, and anyone who decorates cakes know they are the experts! I
too am diabetic, so can empathize with the NEED for icing! The comments below are not
mine, but the person who developed the icing recipe.

SUGAR FREE POWDERED SUGAR REPLACEMENT

1 cup nonfat dry milk
1 cup cornstarch
2/3 cup sugar replacement (Sugar Twin is the recommended product)

Combine all the ingredients in a food processor or blender and whip until blended and
powdered. I got the above recipes from a website that has an actual baking school and
teaches to real students in there local area. It is run by two pastry chefs. Only thing I don't
remember the site name. The other recipe is from a site www.earlenescakes.com She is
located in Texas and does wedding cakes/grooms cakes etc.. . If you want to make a
chocolate icing, add 1 package of Jell-O sugar free instant chocolate pudding to the recipe. It
made it more stable as well as adding the chocolate flavor. You might want to add the
pudding powder in small amounts until you get the flavor and consistency that you are
looking for, you can always add, but you can't take away. She states that many people
didn't know it was a sugar free icing. Hope these work for you.

For Vicki from San Antonio TX-

Spicy Chicken Lasagna

The original recipe called for using a deli bbq chicken but I make my chicken ahead of time
using the Club House Tex Mex marinade.

9 lasagna noodles
1 tbsp olive oil
2 crushed garlic cloves
1 onion, finely chopped
1 red or green bell pepper, seeded, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups hot salsa
1 1/2 cups spaghetti sauce
1 1/2 tsp or more ground cumin
1 475g container ricotta cheese
2 eggs
1/2 Cup coriander
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
1 1/2 cups each: Shredded Monterey jack and mozzarella cheese
4 cups cooked cubed chicken or turkey

Cook lasagna noodles as per package. For sauce, heat oil and add garlic, onion and
peppers. Sauté until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in salsa, spaghetti sauce and
cumin. Taste and add more cumin if desired. Increase heat to medium-high, bring to a
boil, cover, reduce heat to low and simmer 5-7 minutes and reserve.

For filling, whirl ricotta, eggs, cilantro and jalapeno in a food processor until well blended.
Stir together shredded cheeses in a small bowl and reserve.

Put together lasagna starting with a thin layer of sauce. Place noodles in single layer then
spread with half the sauce. Dot with filling, followed by half the chicken the half the
cheese. Add another layer of noodles. Repeat layering.

Bake uncovered in centre of preheated 375F oven 35 to 40 minutes or until lasagna bubbles
around sides and top is golden. Let stand 10 minutes

Roast Beef Sandwiches

*Beef roast, trimmed of fat (1 large or a couple of small—however much you think you need
for the number of guests - cheapest cut--it will become tender in the crockpot)

*Dry onion soup mix (I estimate one package for about every 2 lbs of beef)

Place trimmed roast(s) in crockpot. Sprinkle soup mix over. Do not add water—juices
from the meat are enough. Cook on low 8-10 hours. Use two forks to shred beef, which
should be very tender at this point. Serve on buns with horseradish sauce. This is very
yummy.

Macaroni & Cheese, Deluxe, Taste of Home

2 c small curd cottage cheese
8 oz sour cream
1 egg, lightly beaten
¾ t salt
Garlic salt and pepper to taste
2 c shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
7 oz pkg (1½ c dry) elbow macaroni, cooked & drained Paprika (optional)

In large bowl, combine cottage cheese, sour cream, egg, salt, garlic salt and pepper. Add
cheddar cheese and mix well. Add macaroni and stir until coated. Transfer to greased 2½
qt casserole. Bake uncovered 25-30 minutes or until heated through. Sprinkle with paprika
if desired. NOTE: If double recipe, do not double bake time. 50 minutes in lasagne pan
was too long. Next time, check at 30 minutes.

Sloppy Joes

1 lb hamburger
1 medium onion, chopped
½ t season salt
Pepper to taste
½ c ketchup
1 T mustard
2 T vinegar
¼ c brown sugar

Cook hamburger with onion, season salt and pepper--drain. Stir in remaining ingredients
and simmer 15-20 minutes (or simmer in crockpot). Yield 4-6 sandwiches (increase
quantity to accommodate number of guests).

Chicken and Stuffing Casserole

2 lbs cooked chicken, cut up
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of celery soup
1 8 oz sour cream
1 package chicken-flavored Stove Top Stuffing

Mix first four ingredients in a greased 4-qt casserole dish. Prepare stuffing according to
package directions and spread on top. Bake at 325 for 30 minutes covered and 15 minutes
uncovered. Variation: Use turkey and turkey-flavored stuffing.

Mom's Beans

1 lg can Bush's baked beans, undrained (mom uses Van de Camp's)
1 can kidney beans, drained
1 can butter beans, drained
½ c ketchup
¾ c + some brown sugar
1 t dry mustard
1 T vinegar
½ lb bacon, fried and chopped (best w/real bacon, but okay to use 1 can real bacon
pieces)
1 lb hamburger, cooked and drained
1 small onion, chopped

Combine all in Dutch oven. Cover and bake at 350 for 1 hour. Can also be cooked in
crockpot. Whether on high or low, just give it enough time to simmer so flavors mingle.

Crockpot Pizza, Taste of Home

12 oz wide egg noodles
1½ lbs ground Italian sausage, beef or turkey, cooked and drained
¼ c chopped onion
28 oz spaghetti sauce (or 2-15 oz cans pizza sauce)
1 can sliced mushrooms, drained (optional)
1½ t Italian seasoning
3½ oz pkg sliced pepperoni
3 c (12 oz) shredded Cheddar cheese
3 c (12 oz) shredded mozzarella cheese

Cook noodles according to package directions and drain. In large skillet, cook meat and
onion; drain. Into meat, stir sauce, mushrooms and seasoning. In 5 qt crockpot coated
with non-stick cooking spray, spread 1/3 meat sauce, then 1/3 noodles, then 1/3
pepperoni. Sprinkle with 1/3 cheese. Repeat layers for total of 3 layers. Cover and cook
on low 3 hours or until heated through and cheese is melted. This is delicious and very
filling—it feeds more people than it seems.

Ida's Egg Bake

6 slices bread, buttered, crust removed
4 eggs
2 c milk
¼ t dry mustard
½ t salt
¼ lb cheddar cheese, grated
Ham, bacon or sausage, cut into bite-sized pieces--however much you want

Tear bread into pieces and place in 9x13 baking dish. Combine all other ingredients and
pour over bread. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes.

Yummy Breakfast

1 pkg crescent rolls
1 pkg brown and serve sausages, cooked
1 c milk
1 t flour
1 pkg shredded cheese (about 3 c.)
8 eggs
Italian seasoning
Salt & pepper

Grease 9x13 pan. Roll and pat out rolls; pat about ½ up sides. Add cheese. Sprinkle

seasonings; pour over top. Bake 300-350 for 45-60 minutes. Stir filling halfway through
